Question

In a knock out tournament of 18 teams, how many byes will be allotted? *

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Teams in upper half by formula N+1/2

Teams in lower half by formula N-1/2

Byes in upper half by formula N-1/2

Byes in lower half by formula N+1/2

Teams in each quarter is total teams divided by 4

{19/4} we have 4 as our quotient so

1st Q = 4+1

2nd Q = 4+1

3rd Q = 4+1

4th Q = 4

BYES ARE ALWAYS DISTRIBUTED FROM THE LAST TO FIRST

AS IN CASE OF UPPER HALF BYE WILL BE GIVEN AS FOLLOWS

LAST - FIRST - SECOND LAST -SECOND AND SO ON…

THEN SAME FOR SECOND HALF
